"If people, whether they're conservative, liberal, left or right, are unwilling to compromise and engage in the democratic process and are taking absolutist views and demonizing opponents, then democracy will break down.

Now, is he talking about this forum specifically, or the world in general?  That's my problem with extreme partisans in a nutshell.

Pretty clear he's talking about himself, even if he doesn't realize it.  No one took absolutist views, demonized opponents, and refused to compromise more than Obama.

No, it was the Republicans who did that, not Obama.
